Buddy Break

Buddy Break is a free respite care program where kids with special needs (VIP Kids) make new friends, play fun games, enjoy crafts, music, and more.

Sibling have fun, too! Meanwhile, caregivers for these children get a break from ongoing care responsibilities for three hours one Saturday morning each month.

The weight and stress of caring for a child with special needs can be overwhelming. Buddy Break provides a safe place for VIP Kids and their siblings to have fun and establish meaningful friendships with other kids and adults while caregivers get a break..

Volunteers Needed!

We are seeking 12 volunteers that can commit to serving as Buddy volunteers to our VIP kids or siblings one Saturday morning a month for 3.5 hours.

We also are in need of a nurse.

Buddies are friends to VIP kids who hang out with them during Buddy Break. No previous experience necessary to be a Buddy, just a loving heart, open arms, and a willingness to learn.
